I then headed to the town of Evesham upon which I knew very little and I really enjoyed discovering its history and heritage at the Almonry Museum, then walked through the old town to the Church of All Saints and the beautiful Abbey Bell Tower which dominates a lovely park which strolls down to the river Avon. I decided on a light spot of lunch and the weather was so fine that I embarked on a mini river trip that took me along the banks of the river on a old fashioned boat. I then took the "Blossom Trail" from Evesham which is also famous for growing Asparagus, hence its very popular Asparagas Festival in May, through the Lenches with its beautiful villages ( Church Lench, Atch Lench, etc. ) until the lovely little town of Pershore which also hosts a popular Plum Festival in August. The Evesham Vale was already famous for its orchards ( Apple, Pear, Cherry, Plum ) in Medieval times and is well worth a visit, especially at Springtime The perfect ending to a perfect day was a visit to the Evesham Countrypark with its farmshops and fun narrow gauge railway.
